你必須控制你的基因

為了從抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙中恢復，改變你的想法和改變你對這些疾病的看法對你的恢復至關(guān)重要。要痊愈，你必須在細胞層面上痊愈才能改變你的大腦。讓我們破除一個巨大的謊言:抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙不是遺傳的!

?

遺傳疾病和基因表達之間存在著巨大的差異?；虮磉_在你的控制之中，你必須控制你的基因表達才能從抑郁/雙相情感障礙中恢復過來。許多人，包括許多醫(yī)生，都認為許多疾病都是遺傳的。

?

事實上，只有不到3%的疾病是由基因引起的。唐氏綜合癥是遺傳疾病的一個很好的例子;天生患有這種疾病的人有一種基因缺陷。藍眼睛也是一種遺傳條件;你不會某天早上突然醒來說。“哇，我的藍眼睛變成棕色了?！蹦鞘遣豢赡艿?。當人們說“它在我的家族中運行”，那是基因表達，而不是遺傳條件。遺傳疾病和疾病的基因表達之間的區(qū)別是:如果一種疾病在你20多歲、30多歲、40多歲、50多歲或更晚的時候發(fā)生，這種疾病是身體復制了你的一部分DNA來表達疾病。癌癥、糖尿病和抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙不是遺傳疾病;即使你的叔叔、爸爸和姐姐都患上了癌癥或糖尿病，或者被診斷為雙相情感障礙，你也不一定會患上這些疾病。在這種情況下，我們?nèi)绾伪磉_基因決定一切。我所說的一切，是指你可以患上疾病或逆轉(zhuǎn)疾病。對你表達的基因的控制是在基因之上的;換句話說，這是“表觀遺傳”控制。你的身體由70萬億個細胞組成。每個細胞都要吸收營養(yǎng)，產(chǎn)生蛋白質(zhì)，消除廢物。你的細胞產(chǎn)生的蛋白質(zhì)是從你的DNA中選擇的。我想讓你們知道蛋白質(zhì)有多重要，你如何產(chǎn)生這些蛋白質(zhì)將會逆轉(zhuǎn)或引起疾病。你選擇表達的DNA部分是決定健康或疾病的關(guān)鍵。

?

布魯斯·利普頓博士說得很好:“DNA并不控制我們的生理機能;相反，DNA是由細胞外的信號控制的，包括我們積極和消極思想中發(fā)出的能量信息?！蹦阋庾R到健康是你的自然狀態(tài)，這是恢復和恢復你的健康和活力的重要一步。布魯斯·利普頓博士的《感知生物學》是一本值得一讀的好書。他講述了對環(huán)境的感知如何改變蛋白質(zhì)的產(chǎn)生。所以這不是真正發(fā)生在你身上的事;而是你如何感知事件。感知轉(zhuǎn)化為不同的DNA產(chǎn)生，這將使我們對疾病有抵抗力或?qū)е录膊?。為了從抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙中恢復，你必須改變你的認知，也必須改變你大腦的連接方式和激活方式。你的感知模式改變了DNA表達，改變了你的大腦結(jié)構(gòu);這就改變了產(chǎn)生的化學物質(zhì);這就改變了你的情緒狀態(tài)，要么導致疾病，要么治愈疾病。這就是每天冥想、每天祈禱和/或想象對完全康復至關(guān)重要的地方。正如代謝臨床與實驗57:(2008)S16-S23所指出的，處方藥物可以引起表觀遺傳變化，了解這一點也很重要。已知會引起表觀遺傳變化的藥物包括:

·他汀類降膽固醇藥物

·抗抑郁藥

·β受體阻滯劑

·利尿劑

·它莫西芬

·甲氨蝶呤

·消炎藥

甚至·麻醉劑

·口服避孕藥

·抗生素

表觀基因組的永久性變化

研究人員最擔心的是藥物可能會在后代中產(chǎn)生缺陷。他們推測，藥物可能會加速當前糖尿病的流行。

“…fda批準的藥物會導致持續(xù)的表觀遺傳變化?！?/p>

“…藥物可能與心臟病、癌癥、神經(jīng)和精神障礙、肥胖、糖尿病、白血病、躁郁癥、精神分裂癥、不孕癥和性功能障礙?！?/p>

“…這對現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學的影響是深遠的，因為這意味著我們目前對藥理學的理解是過于簡單的?！?/p>

鑒于上述信息- fda批準的藥物可以引起持久的表觀遺傳變化-抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙的康復不能涉及藥物或藥物治療方法。事實上，抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙可能會因許多處方藥而惡化，甚至是由某些藥物引起的。如果你正在服用處方藥，你想完全康復，找出你為什么會被開這些藥，并與合格的保健醫(yī)生合作，減少或消除你對藥物的依賴。每一種藥物，每一種專利藥物，都會減緩或停止代謝過程。另外，你必須考慮到這一點，這聽起來很奇怪，但回到上世紀初，藥物被稱為專利藥物。這意味著他們必須獲得立普妥或百憂解等藥物的專利。要獲得專利，一種物質(zhì)必須是完全獨一無二的，是地球上以前從未見過的東西。所以這是一種完全獨特的物質(zhì)，對人體來說是全新的從未被人體系統(tǒng)識別過的物質(zhì)。藥物是一種外來的實體，就像外星人一樣——他們把藥物放入人體，改變?nèi)梭w的生理機能。在未來，我們會認為用一種對人體不相關(guān)的化學物質(zhì)來改變?nèi)梭w生理機能是絕對瘋狂的，并將這種過程稱為“醫(yī)療保健”。還有一個巨大的問題:我們不能一直使用這種細分為不同職業(yè)的醫(yī)療保健:內(nèi)分泌科醫(yī)生、肺病科醫(yī)生、心臟病科醫(yī)生、精神科醫(yī)生、胃腸科醫(yī)生、皮膚科醫(yī)生、血液科醫(yī)生、神經(jīng)科醫(yī)生等。這是一種愚蠢的醫(yī)療方法。每個系統(tǒng)都依賴于其他系統(tǒng)。例如:如果患者有慢性疼痛，會導致腸道功能改變，會導致激素分泌改變，導致甲狀腺功能改變，導致腎上腺疲勞等。為了恢復健康，你必須觀察整個身體。拍攝第一,第二個目標;或者先用藥，看看效果如何。這就是當今醫(yī)療保健中經(jīng)常發(fā)生的情況。人們很少去尋找疾病背后的原因或“為什么”。今天的醫(yī)生通常不尋求恢復正常的生理和功能;他們不考慮整個身體或整個人。

?

健康的關(guān)鍵是使用天然產(chǎn)品，并找出身體缺乏的是什么，或身體的毒性來自什么。今天的醫(yī)生需要尊重身體和身體的智能反應。新的醫(yī)療保健模式將著眼于整個人以及所有促成疾病過程的因素，包括物理、化學和情緒壓力因素。在我們的診所，我們把這些都聯(lián)系在一起。我們以尊重和敬畏的態(tài)度對待身體，當然這也包括抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙的問題。你必須找到身體的物理、化學和情緒壓力源。這是恢復健康的關(guān)鍵，而健康是人的自然狀態(tài)。

Chapter 13

You Must Take Control of Your Genes

To recover from Depression / Bipolar Disorder,changing your?thoughts and changing your perception of these diseases are?vital to your recovery.To heal,you must heal on the cellular?level in order to change your brain. Let's break down a huge?falsehood: Depression/Bipolar Disorder is NOT GENETIC!!

?

There is a huge difference between genetic disease and genetic?expression.Genetic expression is in your control and you must?take control of your gene expression to recover from?Depression/Bipolar Disorder.Many people,including many?doctors, are under the impression that many diseases are genetic.

?

The fact is that less than three percent of diseases are genetic in?origin. Down's Syndrome is a good example of a genetic?disease; people who are born with this disease have a gene?defect. Blue eyes are a genetic condition as well; you don't?suddenly wake up one morning and say.“Wow,my blue eyes?have turned brown.”That would be impossible.When people?say “It runs in my family,”that is genetic expression, not a genetic condition. The difference between a genetic disease and the genetic expression of a disease is:if a disease develops in your 20's,30's,40's,50's,or later in life,that disease is the body copying a part of your DNA that will express a disease.Cancer,Diabetes, and Depression/Bipolar Disorder are not genetic diseases;even if your uncle,dad,and sister all developed cancer or diabetes or were diagnosed with bipolar disorder,you don't have to develop those diseases.In these cases,how we express genes is everything.By everything,I mean you can develop disease or reverse disease. The control of what genes you express is above the genes;in other words,it is "epigenetic”control.Your body is a collection of 70 trillion cells. Each cell has to take in nutrients,produce proteins,and eliminate waste products.The proteins that your cells produce are chosen from parts of your DNA.I want you to get how important the proteins are;how you produce these proteins will reverse disease or cause disease.The parts of DNA you choose to express are the key to health or disease.

?

Dr.Bruce Lipton said it best:"DNA does not control our?biology;instead,DNA is controlled by signals from outside the?cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our?positive and negative thoughts.”Your awareness of the fact that?health is your natural state is a vital step in recovery and in?regaining your health and vitality.A great book to read is “The?Biology of Perception”by Dr. Bruce Lipton. He covers how?perception of the environment changes protein production.So?it's not what is really happening to you; it's how you perceive?the event.Perception translates to different DNA production,and that will make us resistant to disease or lead to disease. To?recover from Depression/Bipolar Disorder, you have to change?your perception and also change how your brain is wired and?how it fires. Your pattern of perception alters DNA expression?and alters the structures of your brain;and that alters the?chemicals produced;and that alters your emotional state either?causing disease or curing disease.This is where daily?meditation,daily prayer,and/or visualization are vital for full?recovery. It is also important to know that prescription?medications can cause epigenetic changes,as noted in Metabolism Clinical and Experimental 57: (2008) S16-S23.Drugs that are known to cause epigenetic changes include:

·statin cholesterol-lowering drugs

·antidepressants

·beta blockers

·diuretics

·tamoxifen

·methotrexate

·anti-inflammatories

·even anesthetics

·oral contraceptives

·antibiotics.

Look at the journal article below:

?

Permanent Changes in the Epigenome

?

Researchers are most concerned that drugs may produce defects?in subsequent generations.They speculate that the current?diabetes epidemic may be hastened by drugs.

?

“...FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs can cause persistent?epigenetic changes.”

“...pharmaceuticals may be involved in the etiology of heart?disease, cancer, nerve and mental disorders, obesity,?

diabetes, leukemia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia,infertility, and sexual dysfunction.”

“...consequences for modern medicine are profound, since it?would imply that our current understanding of pharmacology?is an oversimplification.”

Metabolism Clinical and Experimental 57: (2008) S16-S23.

?

Given the information above -that FDA-approved?pharmaceutical drugs can cause persistent epigenetic changes -

recovery from Depression/Bipolar Disorder cannot involve a?pharmaceutical or medication approach. In fact,Depression/Bipolar Disorder may be worsened by many?prescription medications and even caused by some.If you are taking prescription medications and you want to fully recover,find out why you were prescribed the drugs and work with a qualified health care practitioner to reduce or eliminate your dependency on medications. Every medication,every patented drug,slows or stops metabolic processes. Plus you have to think about this,this is going to sound weird,but back at the turn of the last century,pharmaceutical pills were called patented medicine.That means that they had to get a patent on drugs like Lipitor or Prozac. To be patented, a substance has to becompletely unique,something that's never been seen on the planet before. So this is a completely unique substance,something totally new to the human body that has never been recognized before by a human system.Pharmaceutical drugs are a foreign entity,like an extra-terrestrial - and they're putting it in the human body to alter the physiology of the body.In the future,we're going to think that it's absolutely insane to change human physiology with a chemical that is foreign to the human body and call that procedure “Healthcare.”And there's another huge problem:we cannot keep using this type of healthcare that is segmented into different professions: Endocrinologist,Pulmonologist,Cardiologist,Psychiatrist,Gastroenterologist,Dermatologist,Hematologist,Neurologist,etc. That's a fool's approach to healthcare. Each system is dependent on other systems.For an example: if a patient has chronic pain that will cause altered gut function,that can cause altered hormone production,leading to a change in thyroid function,causing adrenal fatigue,etc.. To restore health, you have to look at the entire body.Shoot first,aim second; or drug first and see how it works out.That is what is happening in health care today too often.The cause or the“why”behind disease is rarely looked for.Doctors today are typically not looking to restore normal physiology and normal function;they are not looking at the whole body or the whole person.

?

The key to health is using natural products and finding out what the body is deficient in or what the body is toxic from. Doctors today need to respect the body and the body's intelligent responses. The new healthcare model will be to look at the whole person and all contributing factors,including the physical,chemical,and emotional stress factors that are contributing to the dis-ease process.At our clinic,we tie it all together.We approach the body with respect and awe,and of course this includes the issue of Depression/Bipolar Disorder.You have to find the body's physical,chemical,and emotional stressors.This is the key to restore health, and health is the natural state of the human being.
